The Pro Pace is taken from the inscription “Pro pace et fraternitate gentium” on the reverse side of the Nobel Peace Prize medal, meaning “For peace and brotherhood among men”.
The artwork highlights a selection of peace prize laureates as well as references the two locations closely connected to the Nobel Prize: Stockholm and Oslo. The artists’ selection of peace prize awarded organisations or personalities is based on the resonance of their struggles and achievements within the frame of current events.
“Some of the causes defended by the laureates are still particularly threatened today, and I think it is important to (re)highlight them during this event”
Yann Nguema
The Nobel Peace Prize awarded institutions and individuals highlighted in the artwork include: The United Nations, the Red Cross, Doctors without borders, Narges Mohammadi, the 14th Dalai Lama, Liu Xioabo, Nihon Hidankyo and the IPCC. The artwork serves as a reminder of how precious and fragile peace is, and how vital it is to work together.
